I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do for my Valentine's this year, I just knew that I wanted to include a picture of Milchy and Otto. I had this blue photo backdrop (used for my wedding photo wall) and just put it up in my living room. After a few test shots, I decided it was too plain. So I made tulle puff balls, using rolls of tulle frompaper mart.After I was happy with my backdrop, it was time to round up the cats.

I'm sure you've heard the expression "herding cats." It's no joke! They are usually very photogenic (read sleepy) during the day but they were being terrible. Ripping off the tulle balls (understandably)- deciding it was time to groom - fighting with each other and ripping the paper roll.

After multiple attempts to get a photo of them together, I just gave up.

Then I had the grand idea of putting Otto's favorite pillow on the floor. He settled down right away. But I thought the pillow was just too distracting.

So I got the top of an ottoman. Ready for takeoff!

People think I pose my cats...they clearly have never been around cats. You can't control/pose a cat. I just take a lot of pictures, and eventually, one is good :)

Finally I got this gem. After editing and cropping, I had wallets made of each.

Sometimes a girl just can't get rid of her crazy eyes, but I thought it worked. Tomorrow I'll share the final product with my valentine's cards.
